The second course for our impromptu dinner party last night was a delicious Thai Green Curry, served with rice. This is by far one of the best dishes that my husband makes. It is SO good. I want some more now.
Thai Green Curry
1/2 cup thai basil, 1/2 cup cilantro, 3-4 green chillis, 1 tbsp coriander seeds, 1 tbsp cumin seeds, 2 cups coconut milk, tbsp ginger, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 small red onion sliced onion, 1/2 a large green pepper thinly sliced, 1 lemongrass stalk, 1/2 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tbsp sriracha chili garlic sauce, 1/4 cup crushed roasted peanuts, 1 package extra firm tofu diced into cubes.
2. Grind up the basil, cilantro, chillis, coriander seeds, and cumin seeds.
3. Saute the onion, and green pepper with ginger and black pepper.
4. And the blended mixture, coconut milk, and lemongrass to the onions etc. Bring to simmer.
5. Add soy sauce, sriracha and crushed peanuts. Add the fried tofu and mix. Remove the lemongrass before serving.
6. Serve with rice and garnish with chopped cilantro.
ps. I've decided to submit this for Trupti's Weekend Food Blogging Event.

Hey Kanchana,
I was directed to your site from google search for "okra curry". Lovely presentation. Its 10:00 Am in the morning and your website already made me hungry for lunch. I have a question. Do you know anybody who can teach indian cooking in US? Where is this sundaram cooking training place?
Sadhana,
The Sundaram School of Cooking is currently only available to those members married to a Sundaram. My brother-in-law is single if you are interested!

I tried this recipe using soy milk to make it healthier and it tasted pretty good! I put in some grated coconut to simulate the coconut milk flavour.
Thanks for the great recipe:)
Hi
Was looking for Thai Green/Red curry and stumbled upon your site.. awesome stuff...
totally zapped looking at the collection of recipes n fun posts !!!:)
I'm going to make this on Friday :)
By the way, another option for the tofu is letting the extra firm tofu triangles (somehow triangles taste better than cubes) cook in water and a bit of soy sauce. They soak up the soy sauce really well. You stop, when the tofu is brown and still firm. They taste FABULOUS, and you don't have to use all that oil :)
